Thank you with all my heart for this post. I am up late, not feeling even remotely peaceful, with my housing and financial situation a complete mess for reasons out of my control. The reminder to be at home where I am is exactly what I needed to hear tonight!

"arduous and humbling and joyful" may be a good description of what the journey is like ... but it is not a description of what we must bring along on the journey. May be we need to remember to make the journey "with love, with patience, and with faith" [nice reminder these words from Wonder by Nat Merchant]

About Me

It has become more difficult to introduce myself. How do we describe who we are? I realize that I am not defined by my name, my gender, my profession, my relationships, my religion, or my accomplishments. My past does not define me. I am… something else. Some will say that I am a presence moving gently here, and that I am one who listens deeply, loves with an open heart, finds bliss in ordinary miracles, and seeks truth in silence, innocently. I am not so different than you.
